no, I tried that. The progress '####' just goes through really fast and nothing gets installed. It's quit odd. I don't know what could be causing this. I tried installing several different packages to make sure it wasn't just that one, but it won't install any of them. They were all packages that I uninstalled and then tried reinstalling, but I don't think that should matter.
